| Which speakers do you like in the $5K price range? I have a pair of Emerald Physics KC IIs (~$2k). They are amazing, BUT, in your $5K range definitely check out their EP 2 series. They had a pair on sale for <$5K, so ask for a deal | |

| “Oppomod” linear power supply I tried one that was > $350, but had fitment issues as well as getting it to work. I sent it back and replaced it with one for ~ $115, it is a huge upgrade, but if you listen to music you need a much better dac circuit than the 105 has | |
